"YIVE La COMMUNE ,''

Such was the ominous cry at the break
ing up of revolutionary meeting in
Paris last night. At the meeting violent
speeches were delivered, and the wrath of
the participants appeared to be directed
against NJ. Ferry. What these com
munists also called "extortioners and
traitors came in for share of abuse.
1t was pretty much the same sort of
junta held by Parsons, Fielden, Schwab
and Spies on the eve of the Hay
market tragedy. Its participants repre-
scented only the same revolution
airy sub-strata of Partisan soci-
ety-the jewellers in the slums and the
dives of crime-the same combustible
material, that, a century ago, burst out
into the conhagration that swept away
the nobility of France and spilled Its
best blood upon the affairs of the reyolu-
ton. Yet, this sudden outbreak of the
sentiment Of which Herr Most u . repre
sentative on this side of the
Atlantic, indicates the danger into
which Grevy's resignation is about
to precipitate European republicanism.
Revolution in France is an immediate
possibility of the present crisis whose
gravity increases each hour. 1t was upon
the tide of revolution that Napoleon /
assembled to power. Upon the same tide
Prince Victor Napoleon might drift into
possession of the French sovereignity af-
ter it has swept away the Republic. Then
again the cry of "vive la commune"
raised by the meeting last night is wei
come music TO the ears of the royalists
and legitimists, who would all join forces
with the commune or any other force to
destroy the republican party of France.
"Yive la Commune!' 1t sounds like the
days of Robespierre, or later, nearly two
decades ago, when the mob overthrow the
beautiful statues and applied the torch to
the magnificent and ancient palaces of
the French capital. If the republican
party cannot govern France, rather than
endure another reign of the commune, the
noble Deoplo OF Paris would welcome the
return of the Bonopsrtes. or of the house
of Orleans. Could they be blamedi

THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR.

While We Texans are laying the founda
ton of magnificent mpire-building
up country for the enjoyment of pos
terity, why not make it little more com
Portable for ourselves: Is the scramble
for money, the boarding of dollars and
cents, the swelling of bank accounts, all
that We live for, or all that is worth striy-
ing for! Is the dollar the final and only
object of life:
While We are piling up or trying to pile
up riches, why not do more toward
identifying our homes, surrounding our
selves with the comforts of modern civil
ization and cultivsting, in the rising
generation of Texas, taste for the arts
and sciences:
AS Texans, in the general grab for the
almighty dollar, we have been too prone to
forget the home and homelife. Mammon
is a powerful deity, but, sordid, indeed,
must be the people whose sole object is
the accumulation OF richesi winch, aIter ali,
can neither ennobls nor, of themselves,
refine. In the matter Of food, for in
stance, when the vast variety and prOduc-
tiveness of the soil of the state are con
sidered, it will be found that Texas tables
are supplied with food inferior to that of
states not having half the natural advan
tages of our own. We import vegetables
and fruits we could greatly improve Cd
at home by proper care and attention.
The farmers Of Texas raise cotton for
money, and live indifferently while the
drouth pushes the cotton money out of
their reach. Let's all go slower to get
rich, and begin to live more comfortably
while we are at it.

The War OF the World and the
Sun.
n. o. Picayune

y. y. PlCayune.
1t is astonishing how often the ameni-
ties of journalism are forgotten in New
York when we reflect that the metropo-
lis is city which boasts of cosmopol-
itan breadth of liberality, and that it
is within only a few hours run TO such
d center Of sweetness and light as Bos-
ton. People who know everything and
who advise everybody from the chief
executive of this mighty nation down
to the callow youth who desires to be
Informed whether he should offer
his right or his left arm TO his lady love
when they take their WALKS abroad, ought
to be able to insult and vilify each other
without using coarse and indeoorous Ian
guage. The degree to which man can
make himself disagreeable in polite and
well turned phrases is a pretty fair test
of the extent of his culture and the quail
ity of his breeding, and we may say in
general terms that as nation advances
in civilization it will turn more and more
from direct vituperation to the finer art
of light irony and polished satire.
We have not forgotten the late Horace
Greeley's occasional plain speaking, but
we refer just now more particularly to the
mutual personal criticisms OF Messrs.
Pulitzer and Dana, which have lately d.
versified the editorial utterances of the
Sun and the World. Mr.. Dana habitually
refers to Mr.. Pulitzer as Judas, and Mr..
Pulitzer, with equal courtesy, alludes to
Mr.. Dana as Ananias. If those gentlemen
intend to suggest historical parallels we
must infer that Mr.. Dana has very poor
opinion of Mr.. Pulitzer's good faith, and
that Mr.. Pulitzer has not been favor
ably impressed with Mr.. Dana's attitude
towards the truth. For our part, we are
confident that neither of them is quite so
bad as the other represents him. Mr..
Dana is an able man who has made some
serious mistakes, and Mr.. Pulitzer is an
energetic journalist who has sometimes
neglected to draw the line on the
right side of propriety: but when
Mr.. Dana charges that Mr.. Pulitzer
is shameless traitor and the

THE oDELL ACQCITTAL.

The trial of Odell, charged with the
murder of Quinlsn during the last stafe
democratic convention at Galveston, has
attracted more than usual attention
throughout the state. A synopsis Of the
evidence Was given in yesterdays dis
patches. According to witnesses for the
state, Odell shot Quinlgn down on the
sidewalk while running out of the saloon
and escaping for his life, but they
saw no weapon in his hand.
Odell was pursuing his victim
when the fatal shooting occurred. Wit
negses for the defense, however, swore that
during the initial quarrel inside the
saloon, Quinlan drew knife on his an
tagonist which he had in his hand when
he ran through the door, and which was
subsequently found on the floor near his
body.
Notwithstanding this evidence, and con-
STEERING the fact that Odell had plenty Of
time for elaboration, the verdict will be
as much surprise in the state as in Gal
weston. It Is quite certain the acquittal
will not tend to suppress crime in the Is
land City.

THE WESTERN UNION CUTTING RATES

THE WESTERN UNION CUTTING RATES.
There was, at the time of the sbsorp.
ton of the Baltimore d Ohio telegraph
system by the Western Union, great hue
and cry about unbridled monopolies and
the danger of consolidating so much
power in the hands Of one corporation, in
which cry we admit we Joined, with fear Of
the result of the ultimate consequences Of
the great deal. This morning we publish
a schedule Of new rates for tn Western
Union system that has been made out and
adopted by the executive board of the di-
rectors Of that corporation. An analysis
20 c"cry one mat 20 far from the Western
Union taking advantage of Its undisPuted
sway in matters telegrsphi,, it has volun-
tarily cut the rates existing before COM
petition was annulled by the purchase of
the Baltimore d. OHIO. It is matter of
record that in all general cuts, such as that
now made, the Western Union was never
known to recede from its concessions TO
the public. With this record it is, and
should be, occasion Of felicitation to the
public that thus early in their occupation
of their field of undisputed possession,
the Western Union have seen fit to take
the stand they now make.
The annual report of tho business of the
Western Union for the year ending June
80, 1857, shows revenues $17,l9l, 9O9.95,
expenses $13,154,G2S.54, and consequent
profits, $4,O37, 2S1.4l. A vast corporation
handling the business, employing the SER
vice and making the improvements the
Western Union yearly does, and yet clear
ing over four millions of money a year,
can afford to meet the public half way, as
they have done in this new cut in rates.
A comparison of the new with the old rates
will shoF that Austin is p per cent. better
OFF under the new schedule than the old,
and thus far our town and state have
